How to Plant and Prune 
Proper planting, pruning, and watering are essential to the success of nursery 
stock. The ground should be plowed or spaded deeply. 
Holes should be large 
enough so the roots can be spread out without crowding. Lots of water should 
be used. Roots should be pruned so there are plenty of fresh ends to come in 
contact with the soil. Soil should be packed firmly around roots so there are no 
air spaces and so roots are in tight contact with the soil. 
Pruning—Part of the top of the bush or tree must be pruned at time 
of planting so as to reduce the amount of top the roots have to supply with

Watering — Surface 
sprinkling does very little 
good. Take nozzle off hose 
and let water run around 
plant until ground is thor- 
oughly soaked for a depth 
of 12 to 18 inches. Never 
let ground dry out. 
Mulch—A mulch of 
hay, leaves, grass_clip- 
pings, etc., around the 
base of the plant is very 
beneficial and helps to 
conserve moisture. 
Fertilizer—Should be 
placed on top of the 
ground and worked in 
with a hoe. Never put 
fresh manure in the hole, 
for if It comes in contact 
with the roots it will burn 
and kill them.
